HELP Best AC delete plate

[hvyhitr]

It seems there are many different manufacturers.

Which is best? Tell me why. I intend on painting it the same color as the firewall.

Thickness?

Which one to stay away from??

Thanks

The AC delete plate doesnt have the drain valve. The cowl plate has it

I can't imagine there's THAT much difference between all these mass produced sheets of alloy that Fill the space.they're all about the same thickness, overseas vs usa made versions are similar priced and where no one's had a bad thing to say about a particular vendor i think all that's left is what you're comfortable spending on it

Here is the plate I installed. It is the one from eBay by LRE Fab for $26. Nice piece. .080" Aluminum. Very sturdy.
As you can see, I have the roll cage coming through this area, which was an added challenge. I cut one "slice" in the plate, figuring I could bend it around the bar. No way. I had to cut the second "slice". This made it easier to fit around the bar and then message the hole for a tight fit.
Bar is 1 5/8" diameter.
I am going to paint it, same color as the fire wall.

Are you trying to post a picture from Photobucket?

Figured out how to post the pic.
I used 2 of these plates to make one (somewhat).
BTW, the screws are M6.3. I tried using #14 SST, but they don't thread all the way in.
